Nine Eleven: Towers To Tears

Take me down to ground zero, brother,
I need to see the truth -
where dark angles from hell
put evil in place,
and three thousand innocents died.

Take me down to ground zero, sister,
I want to feel the void -
when an enemy’s faith 
put death before life,
and cowards made innocents die.

Take us to the five-sided fortress
and also honor the field -
where a test in the West
started defense,
and our bravest are still rollin’ on.

911 does seem a long time ago, and so surreal at the time. The impact I'm sure will be everlasting.
